Scenario
Agency driver does one day only for a company and causes damage to a lorry
The driver does no more work for that agency
Company puts a claim into their insurer naming the driver
The driver who has nothing now to do with the agency or the company gets asked by their own private car insurance company if they have had any claims in the past ⦠the driver says no because they are not aware of any

There was a case recently, where the owners of a ship were claiming for something, and the Insurer refused to pay out stating that some piece of information had not been disclosed, thus invalidating the insurance policy. The Courts decided that as the said piece of non disclosure was of no material effect to the claim at hand, the Insurer could non invalidate the policy, and had to pay up

that was the titanic that got scrapped as it was a ringer for the olympicā¦when you look at the camera footage from whats meant to be the titanic,you can see where they covered up the olympics name which was always ground into the top plates so they could paint the name easier,plus the one lying on the bottom of the ocean has the offside rear damage where the battleship struck the olympic and had it repaired in southampton,and then again in belfastā¦they couldnt get it insured,it thereafter listed to the left,they had a dock crew in over the weekend changing the portholes to add another couple,and then all the stokers and below deck crew and stokers all bailed out when it docked at southampton putting themselfs out of work as the country was on strike as they knew it was going downā¦when they lifted the surviving crew and brought them back to the uk they were locked up for 2 days and told by scotland yard and harland and wolfe they would go to jail for 20 years if anything leaked out and their families would go to the poorhouseā¦most of the top dogs cancelled last minute,there was a fire in 1 of the coal bunkers as it was about to leave southampton so they bunged 300 ton of coal on top of it in case they missed the icebergā¦the carpathia sailed with only a cargo of lifejackets and woolly jumpers and stopped 10 miles further away from where it was meant to be waiting,hence the mixupā¦
fill your boots with theseā¦seems believable to me.
just cos you grew up thinking it sank dont make it trueā¦the earth used to be flatā¦just a ringer and a insurance job.from a high up political level.

To be fair the circumstances related to the lack of response of the Californian donāt seem to fit the script of it supposedly being āinā on the alleged scam.Without that key part being explained then the whole theory falls apart.IE if it was supposedly sent there as part of the plan its Captain wasnāt exactly then going to park up for the night supposedly because of ice.When (1) he supposedly knew he had to rescue the shipās crew and passengers before the event and (2) he was supposedly only 12 miles away which doesnāt fit the script of a navigational error having supposedly put that plan out of the frame.While,as expected,the Carpathiaās captain said zb that full speed ahead regardless. 
Although all the other questions related to the Titanic being a possible ringer of the Olympic are a lot less easy to explain so who knows.āIfā itās true it can only be a case of the Californian story,related to radio room confusion and parking up for the night,actually being a bs cover story for a scam which went wrong because it was actually a lot further away,by mistake,than the Carpathia luckily was.Bearing in mind that the plan was also dependent on a predetermined three way rendevous with an unpredictable ice bergās course.

A discussion that started about car insurance turned to a discussion about shipping ⦠Surely this must be a first even for Trucknet-UK

Itās still also on track regards insurance though.While the question of an alleged possible insurance scam having sunk the Titanic is a brilliant subject. 
BUMP 
Yeah, had one of those today
Some ā ā ā ā in a hire van didnāt notice the 60 odd ft long truck in front of him stopped at a red light, and battered into the back of it. Felt a wee jolt, but just thought it was the suspension levelling / faffing about as it does from time to time⦠was only when I noticed him in my mirror getting out I realised heād hit the back of me. No damage to trailer, but underrun bar smashed his bumper and trailerās steel frame gouged a hole in his bonnet 
Oh, and he hadnāt paid for enhanced CDW, so is up for Ā£1000 excess
oh dear.
Anyway, back on topic⦠knew Iād have to report it to my own insurer, but they say theyāre only interested in claims really⦠so while I did have to report it to them, as there is no claim (by us, or by him/the hire co), it has zero effect on my renewal price⦠which incidentally Iāve just haggled 20% off of.
Also, if anyone is with Aviva⦠the rep told me about their āDriveā app, which monitors your driving for 200 miles, gives you a score, then gives you a (further) discount of anything up to 20% depending how good your score is. They donāt load if youāre really ā ā ā ā , just give you no extra discounts 
Itās a one-off thing, (once a year) then you can delete the app⦠so, basically go drive 200 miles down a clear motorway with this app running, get your score, and get your discount. 
The main thing is to ensure nothing you sign your name to, or any question you answer is a technical lie.
For example, if it says ācar accidentsā then certainly there is no need to mention accidents whilst lorry driving. However, if they ask for all the road accidents you have been involved in then you must list them all but you could clarify if they mean as a private motorist.
Alternatively, run a cheapish car thatās all paid up for then itās less of a stress if your insurer does decide to play silly buggers instead of getting some blingmobile on the tick that leaves you up to your neck if your insurer wriggles out of paying.
ROG:
the nodding donkey:
The insurance company ask if you have been involved in ANY motoring accident in the previous 5 (or 3) years. Not telling them about a shunt in a truck, gives them room to turn round when you need to claim, saying you did not disclose it, and invalidate your insurance. Best to mention it, and see what they say. If your provider takes the ā ā ā ā with your renewal premium, shop around.
How would the insurer of a private car ever get to find out about a commercial lorry incident 
I had an accident involving a car hitting the rear end of the trailer I was pulling, the car was insured through SAGA and the artic I was driving with NFU Mutual. At that time one of my cars was insured with SAGA and my coach was insured with NFU Mutual.
Does that answer your question, they use computers these days and very little is secret. I am still declaring this accident every time I renew my insurances and it wasnāt my fault.
